Qui diceris Paraclitus, altissimi donum Dei, You are called Comforter, gift of the highest God, Fons vivus, ignis, caritas, et spiritalis unction. Fount of life, fire, love, and spiritual unction. Tu septiformis munere, digitus paternae dexterae, You are seven-fold in your gifts, the finger of God’s right hand, Tu rite promissum Patris, sermone ditans guttura.

Strengthen the frailties of our flesh by your perpetual power. Hostem repellas longius, pacemque dones protinus: May you drive our enemy far away, and bestow abiding peace, Ductore sic te praevio, vitemus omne noxium. So that, with you leading before us, we may shun all evil. Per te sciamus da Patrem, noscamus atque Filium, Grant that through you we may know the Father, and that we might also come to know the Son; Teque utriusque Spiritum credamus omni tempore. And you, the Spirit of Them both, may we trust at all times.

Versus II Den Tod niemand zwingen kunnt bei allen Menschenkindern, No one could conquer death among all human offspring; das macht alles unsre Sünd, kein Unschuld war zu finden. all this was caused by our sin—no innocence was to be found. Davon kam der Tod so bald Hence death soon came und nahm über uns Gewalt, and seized power over us, hielt uns in seinem Reich gefangen. Halleluja! held us captive under his rule. Hallelujah! IV. Aria. Versus III Jesus Christus, Gottes Sohn, an unser Statt ist kommen, Jesus Christ, God’s Son, came in our place, und hat die Sünde weggetan, damit dem Tod genommen and dismissed sin, so that from death was taken all sein Recht und sein’ Gewalt, his every privilege and power. da bleibet nichts denn Tod’s Gestalt, So nothing is left but death’s form— Stach’l hat er verloren. Halleluja! (his) sting he has lost. Hallelujah! Ich jauchze, ich lache Ich jauchze, ich lache, ich jauchze mit Schall, I rejoice, I laugh, I rejoice with peals, ihr klaget mit Seufzen, ihr weinet ob einerlei Fall. you lament with sighs, you weep over the same cause. euch kränket die plötzlich zerstörete Macht, you aggrieve the sudden destruction of might, mir hat solch Verderben viel Freude gebracht, such ruin has brought me great delight, so künftig Tod, Teufel und Sünde verlacht. as, for the future, death, devil and sin are derided. Così è germinato questo fiore. this flower hath thus unfolded. Qui se’ a noi meridiana face Here art thou unto us the meridian torch Di caritate, e guiso, in tra i mortali, of love, and there below with mortals Se’ di speranze fontana vivace. art a living spring of hope.

Heiss wie der Stahl und fest wie der Stein As hot as steel and as firm as a rock, soll deine Liebe sein. your love should be! Donna, se’ tanto grande, e tanto vali, Lady, thou art so great and hast such worth, Chequal vuol grazia, ed a te non ricorre, that if there be who would have grace Sua disianza vuol volar senz’ali. yet betaketh not himself to thee, La tua benignità non pur soccorre his longing seeketh to fly without wings. A chi dimanda, ma molte fiate Thy kindliness not only succoureth whoso requesteth, Liberamente al dimandar precorre. but does oftentimes freely forerun request. Panis angelicus Panis angelicus, fit panis hominum, The bread of angels becomes the bread of man, Dat panis coelicus figures terminum. This heavenly bread gives an end to [earthly] forms. O res mirabilis manducat Dominum, O marvellous thing: a poor man, a slave, and the humble: Pauper, servus, et humilis. All ingest the Lord. In te misericordia, in te pietate, In thee is tenderness, in thee is pity, In te magnificenza, in te s’aduna in thee munificence, in thee united Quantunque in creatura è di bontate. whatever in created being is of excellence. Ave. Ave. Hail. Hail. Laudi alla Vergine Maria Vergine madre, figlia del tuo Figlio, Virgin mother, daughter of thy Son, Umile ed alta più che creatura, lowly and uplifted more than any creature, Termine fisso d’eterno consiglio, fixed goal of the eternal counsel, Tu se’ colei che l’umana natura thou art she who didst human nature Nobilitasti si, che’l suo Fattore so ennoble that its own Maker scorned Non disdegnò di farsi sua fattura. not to become its making. Nel ventre tuo si raccesse l’amore, In thy womb was lit again the love Per lo cui caldo nell’eterna pace under whose warmth in the eternal peace Golpe De las peñas mana el agua, de los páramos el viento, From the rocks springs the water, from the high plains the wind, Y del pecho de la ingrata el mal agradecimiento. And from the heart of the ungrateful: ingratitude. Ay! El que ha sido navegante cuando ve la mar, suspira, Ay! Ay!
